Problems solved by technology

The rear side of the back part of the front seats here poses a limitation to the knees of individuals or passengers on the rear seats.
However, if an individual is seated on the rear seat behind the front seat that is moved toward the back with the rearward displacement device during the pre-crash phase, it reduces the legroom for this individual.
This can increase the risk of injury to individuals on the rear seats, in particular to their legs.
